1. If the rotation time of a scan is decreased, what other increase mA
exposure parameter should be changed to
maintain the image quality?
-increase mA
-increase kVp
-decrease scan length
-decrease mA
2. Which component of the CT imaging system is respon- computer
system
sible for creating reconstructed image data?

3. A single "view" acquired during a CT scan is also called projection
a
-slice
-projection
-detector
-attenuation reading
4. Acquisition thickness refers to the: coordinates?
